The Breaks

There is nothing more exciting in the life an East Villager than the shooting of a movie or television show!

I was riding my Citibike down Second Avenue yesterday evening, when I came upon this site, at the corner of St. Mark's Place:

Movie gear everywhere.

Are these real crusties, or movie crusties?

Crusties.

Are these real firemen, or movie firemen?

Firemen.

All of this was taking place at the beloved Orpheum Theater, home of the beloved Stomp!

Stomp.

Who knows what magic is created inside the secret tent?

Creating magic.

This movie will be called The Breaks:

The Breaks.

According to the Internet Movie Database:

Three friends united by their love of hip-hop work to make their big mark in the music industry.

It's just like real life… in the East Village Today!

The Breaks

I was walking down Avenue B this evening, and street after street was blocked off with orange cones!

Just my luck, I thought. They're shooting A.K.A. Jessica Jones again, and this time I have a video camera!

But no, it was something called The Breaks, by Robert Smith, formerly of The Cure.

Here is what a scene from this TV show or movie might look like:


East Villagers love a good car chase!
